Deck discussion for [M15] Strength of Angels

Do like. It really seems to have a lot going for it. First Strike and Vigilance seem to be your main protection from more powerful forces, but you might want to try out Protection and Indestructible instead. Ajani's Presence and Gods Willing would be your best bet. Also, if angels are your main attack force, consider running Serra Angel over Seraph of the Masses.

Here's what I'd do:

-3 Seraph of the Masses
-2 Angel of Serenity
-4 Suntail Hawk
-4 Hopeful Eidolon
-1 Prophetic Flamespeaker
-4 Oreskos Swiftclaw
-3 Rouse the Mob

+4 Serra Angel
+4 Gods Willing
+4 Ajani's Presence
+1 Anax and Cymede
+1 Resolute Archangel
+4 Favoured Hoplite
+3 Imposing Sovereign

Modify mana base if needed.

These are just suggestions, but they should turn a good core into a great one without much increasing the overall cost. At any rate, I really like the direction your going with this one. Aggressive, but with a great defensive potential. Nice job, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the detailed review. Finally had a chance to give the deck a try. Havent given it a thorough review, but can agree with some of the suggestions that you made.

Seraph of the Masses is an easy cut after playing it.
The Oreskos Swiftclaw can also be canned pretty easily.

Not too sure about several of the others yet, as i have not tried the entire deck. I will be keeping the suntail hawks though, they worked surprisingly well.

On further review, definitely keep the Suntails. Just their 1-drop Flying potential gives you a huge head start in most games. It'll actually be sad to see the Swiftclaws get the boot. Many a pre-release was one thanks to those little kitties! But they simply don't add anything to the deck. And I'd also like to mention quite bluntly that Seraph of the Masses is just horrid, unplayable junk. There are much better budget option out there, such as good old Serra Angel.

Actually, there is one other thhing. When I mentioned Imposing Sovereign as an option, I think I meant Soldier of the Pantheon. There's a deck I run with both with each pulling double duty, so I got confused. Soldier is another solid 1-drop 2/1 white body, which has Proctection from Multicoloured and "Whenever an opponent casts a multicoloured spell, gain 1 life." It could be a fun sideboard option at any rate, but your inclusion of Suntail Hawk is probably the better simply for the amazing evasion on it.

Finally, it's really nice to see your current decklist with those few tiny changes. Thank you for adding Serra! She fits so well! It may be an old high-school crush of mine, but Serra is a very pretty little 4/4 flyer in my eyes. Favoured hoplite is also making an appearance which is nice too! How are those two working out specifically.
The deck is looking mighty fine and may actually be a competitor in a casual setting. White Weeny Curve all they Way!

Aha, my thoughts precisely on the Swiftclaws. They were in there just because of memories of being a total baller at pre-releases.

Interesting that you mention soldier of the pantheon, mine just got freed up after i took them out of another deck, might consider them after this weekend. i want to give it a try with the first round of changes.

Sounds like a solid way to go. Good luck then for this weekend, I hope you go 2-3 at least. It'll be a nice result proving the capabilities of the deck. Might even run a version myself this Friday (well, that or Simic Hydras, depending on the look of the night's meta-game. Jund probably. It's always Jund.)

In any case, I wish you luck and success, and just try to have a fun time with it. It's certainly got the potential!
